This is a rare sighting since mountain lions have been declared extinct in this part of the country, reports CBS; officials think it may have escaped or been released by a local handler.

FYI: It’s legal to keep a mountain lion in New York — but not in Connecticut. If you should see one, Greenwich Conservation director Denise Savageau says, “Don’t freeze. You don’t want to act like a bunny.” No. No, you don’t.
